List of interviewees

Description:

Interviews conducted from 1974 to 1984 to record the memories of
many of the early residents of the community. Recordings are
grouped into five broad categories: Pioneer interview
(migration, agriculture, homesteading, work for the Grand Trunk
Pacific/Canadian National Railway, setting up small businesses),
Anecdotal history (reminiscences), Railroads (construction and
running of the railroads, including songs, poems and stories),
Family history, and Biggar history. Sound quality is good on
most tapes.
